One Rachii's take on .NET, Phoenix, and some unrelated, potentially completely random things.

Upcoming Phoenix Events!

There's a bunch of FREE stuff going on this week, folks, so get out and GO! 

Ignite Phoenix, Part II:

http://www.ignite-phoenix.org/
Wednesday, October 29, 2008.

Ignite Phoenix is an information exchange aimed at fostering and inspiring Phoenix’s creative community. Presenters get 5 minutes and 20 slides to talk about anything they are passionate about. Send in your presentation or just show up and have a fun time. (stolen shamelessly from the About page) 

Now, check their list of topics.  Want to know how to survive the next zombie uprising (and really, what kind of person doesn't have time for that? Do you want to die?)  What about how to get started with urban livestock? Make a movie for under $5k? iPhone development?  Ignite Phoenix has it all.  

PodCampAZ:

November 1-2, 2008.

What is a PodCamp?

PodCamp is a FREE BarCamp-style community UnConference for podcasters and listeners, bloggers and readers, and anyone interested in New Media. It was held for the first time from September 8-10 in Boston, Massachusetts and is now spreading across the world.

These 7 rules define what events can be called a PodCamp:

  • All attendees must be treated equally. Everyone is a rockstar.
  • All attendees must be allowed to participate. (subject to limitations of physical space, of course)
  • All sessions and events must be free of charge to attend.
  • All sessions must obey the Law of 2 Feet - if you’re not getting what you want out of the session, you can and should walk out and do something else. It’s not like you have to get your money’s worth!
  • The event must be new-media focused - blogging, podcasting, video on the net.
  • The financials of a PodCamp must be fully disclosed in an open ledger, except for any donor/sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks for the event postings, Rachel!  Both Ignite and PodcampAZ should be amazing, and make for one heck of an interesting week in Phoenix!
